Interstate commerce Hill S1XnPOe
President Cleveland signed the inter-
state commerce bill on the 4th. The signing
OF the measure by the President was in full
accordance with the opinion Atty. Gen.
Garland rendered to him and it Is very well
understood to be in accord with the views
Of the cabinet. The attorney general was
asked to give his views in regard to the bill
and explain wherein it differed from the
Senate bill of two years ago which he
opposed on the ground that it was uncOn-
stitutional. He declined to do so, saying
that he regarded tlt opinions he had given
to the President ell the subject as strictly
confidential 1t Is learned, however, from
Trustworthy sources, that the attorney
general, as well as the President considers
the bill which has just become law free
from all the material features which were
Objectionable in the Senate bill of two
years ago. According to this information
the attorney generals objection to the old
bill was to the vast powers of a legislative
and judicial character that were given to
the commission. The attorney-general is
said to hold that the present bill does not
confer judicial powers on the commission
but puts them in the courts on report
from the commission, and that it does not
confer legislative power except in the fourth
section (the long and short haul clause),
and that this is warranted by numberless
precedents in the Legislative history of the
government.
